GermanyThe article reports that apprentices' training wages in Germany have increased by nearly four percent for the 2025/26 training year, with most sectors now offering more than 1000 euros per month. A study by the WSI institute reveals that only three sectors still pay below this threshold: agriculture in North Rhine and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, floristry in western Germany, and hairdressing in North Rhine-Westphalia. The highest wages are in care professions, insurance, banking, public administration, Deutsche Bahn, and other industrial sectors. Apprentices in non-tariff-contract companies face significantly lower wages, often below 724 euros per month.
Bias read (Center): The article presents data on wage trends across various industries without overtly favoring any political stance. It highlights disparities between sectors with and without tariff agreements but does not take a clear ideological position. The focus remains on factual reporting rather than advocacy.
